CHICAGO, June 15.-Everybody was on
the qui vive for developments, and while
excitement did not run as high as yester-
day the feeling was far more nervous and
feverish. The uncertainty of the financial
of some of the houses was what
caused the greatest anxiety, and as one
firm after anOther-some twelve to four
teen in all-gave notice that they were I'M
able to further margin their trades and
asked to have their trades closed ont,
the anxiety increased, none knowing who
would be next. Outside influence count
ed for nothing; everything depended on
local developments. Many commission
merchants have refused temporarily to
make new trades and are giving their at
tentiOn 10 the settling up Of their old bust
ness. The opening was wild and excited,
and as the announcement was madeby one
of the principal firms connected with the
Long" side, that all margins would be
put up, the market became very strong
and prices were, after numerous sudden
started up, advancing to a
point 3fc higher for June, 1Sc higher for
July, and 1a2lc higher for other
futures than the closing figures of yester
day. But the advance brought out heavy
again, and then came the an
one after another, from
firms to close their trades, and panic
quickly followed. Fluctuations were very
frequent, but each temporary reaction re-
suited in prices dropping lower and lower,
until toward noon, when there was a tenn
porary lull and the market ruled steady
for awhile. Operators expected some fur
ther important announcement at noon and
for five minutes death-like still
ness reigned, but in this short
interval the hands OF the wheat
indicator quietly recorded drop of cent
and one cent at time, until July touched
20. Never before in the history of the
wheat trade has such an appalling stiffness
reigned, with wheat dropping3 cents in less
than that many minutes. Operators gazed
blankly at Oneanother, not knowing where
the end would be, but the reaction came,
and the price ofJuly gradually shot up la1c
at time, selling to %, followed by num-
erous fluctuations The more deferred fu-
lures ruled at IN premium over near futures,
but all sold lower. Corn was
unsettled, weak and lower. Oats
were weaker. Trading in provisions
was brisk but the market was nervous and
unsettled drought the day, sympathizing
with the excitement and weakness in
grain. Flour dull and neglected Wheat
